Behind the Scenes of a Writer’s Life: One Coffee Spill at a Time

Ever tried writing a novel between horse quarantines and housekeeper surprises? Welcome to the anthology of chaos, caffeine, and creativity! In this bonus episode of Adulting with Horses, you’ll learn how two authors navigate the wilds of writerly life — from the perils of distraction to the magic of whimsical garden spaces.
In this episode, we discuss:
How daily distractions — dogs, housekeepers, and the ocean — fuel or hinder writing progress
The importance of hobbies outside of writing, from craft projects to garden adventures
How to carve out those rare, precious two-hour writing blocks in a busy life
The mental and physical toll of juggling multiple projects, from books to Cruise Ship gift exchanges
The power of whimsy to keep creativity alive when life gets real
Real talk about the grind, including timelines for books and the realities of editing and revisions

In this episode, host Stephanie Ruff continues the conversation about hay. This month the focus is on how to get the most out of your hay – from the purchase to storage to reducing hay waste. And to help us with that, Stephanie talks to Dr. Bob Coleman, associate extension professor in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences in the College of Agriculture at the University of Kentucky, her alma mater. Dr. Coleman’s extension program covers the state and focuses on nutrition, management and facility design. This is a subject near and dear to his heart. Take a listen!
At Tribute Equine Nutrition, horses have always been at the heart of everything they do. As a family-owned company proudly manufacturing feed right here in the USA, Tribute believes in supporting both horses, and the people whose lives are touched by them.
That's why, as America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Tribute is giving back through a special summer initiative supporting PATH International's Equine Services for Heroes program. Through equine-assisted services, these programs help veterans build confidence, connection, and healing through the power of horses.
Throughout the summer, every bag of Tribute product sold helps support this important mission. Horse owners can also join the celebration with Tribute's limited-edition Patriotic Horse Treats, featuring festive red, white, and blue sprinkles.
For those who aren't currently feeding Tribute, there's never been a better time to learn more. Tribute's team offers free, personalized feeding plans designed around each horse's unique needs, and new customers receive their first bag free.
